Are the cherry bomb mufflers really worth it? Do they add any extra power? Can you explain how, and how much? Which is the best deal, and why?

And are they meant to just look cool?

Three days ago I had new valve cover gaskets put on my 2000 Nissan Frontier XE King Cab V6 by a reputable shop. When I got the truck back I added a bottle of some fuel system cleaner made by Preston to a tank of gas. the truck was driving great until tonight when the check engine light came on. I bought this truck new and this light has never come on. Also, about three years ago I had a timing belt put on the truck by a different but reputable shop. When i got the truck back I noticed that the electronic idle (or whatever you call the thing that makes the engine rev up and down at idle) was not working. I tried to reset it using directions from a vehicle specific manual that I bought at a parts store. The mechanic told me to bring it back to see if he could reset it but his shop is forty miles away and I never bothered. I have 180K on this truck and need it to last as long as possible. Please help!

Cement mixers have a history of suddenly stopping their rotation if a load of cement is not blended right. When they do they'll roll over, even whilest stopped at a traffic light.

This happened some years ago in Garland, TX, instantly killing the lady in a car in the adjacent lane.

My question, is this taken into account when programming the rotation? I assume one direction is for mixing or traveling and the other is for emptying.

If the rollover is planned, Then it would make sense that British cement mixers would be made differently? Does anyone know which way they rotate?

Here, the full loads rotate clockwise viewing from the rear.

Is it bad to turn your engine in your car on or off with the air conditioning, heat and/or radio powered on? I have always turned the fan off and the power to the radio and other things off before shutting off my car. My husband thinks I am crazy, but I have heard that leaving these things on is bad on the alternator.

Anyone know?

My service engine light came on on my Honda Accord, I did an electronic scan and the code P1739 popped up. I looked up the code online and it read "Automatic Transaxle Concerns". Could anybody tell me what this means and what needs to be done?

Will a dealership take a car that you own but don't have insurance on? There is a Bonneville I can buy that is in decent shape, and I can buy it for next to nothing. I want to a buy a 2008 1 Ton truck, this fall. And think I could knock some of the price down with a vechile to put towards trade in. I wouldn't be driving this Bonneville anywhere besides the dealership and back. I'm wondering if they could take that car even though there is no insurance on it. And any other advice as far as buying a 2008 this fall.

Lets say the amp puts out 150 watts x 2 @ 4 ohms and
275 watts x 2 @ 2 ohms (Specs from an actual amp) is it safe for me to assume that the wattage will be right in the middle of the 4 and 2 ohm rating? Or is there a way to calculate this a better way?
